'97 SW2 worth buying?

Is this car worth messing with?
-The guys had it just a couple of months, seven owners.
-It leaks a 3-4" circle of oil every time that its parked. He says that he's putting in a third of a quart a week.

My understanding is that replacing the main seal is a day's work, though I haven't found a write up for how to do it on the S-series.

I got my 02 sc1 for 400 dollars With 199K, needed the transmission valve body replaced. paid 250 for the valve body did the install myself, Runs great and every paycheck I replace a part or 2 based on age, currently replacing the sensors. not to bad on the wallet if you look for the best deals. if you have a talent or skill you can barter with someone who will do the work with or for you.

best of Luck

otherwise I would suggest looking for something in better condition for about the same price.

maybe save a few hundred more and get a decent one that does not need very much work if you are not up to doing much right away, $800 - $1000 is a good range, may even
